About Sjögren’s Disease
Sjögren’s disease is estimated to be the second most common systemic autoimmune disease worldwide. Sjögren’s disease occurs when the immune system attacks the glands that produce tears and saliva, leading to gland damage which can cause dry eyes and dry mouth. Currently there are no approved therapies to modify Sjögren’s disease or progression, resulting in a high unmet need for the development of effective therapies.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc (OPDC) is studying an investigational drug called sibeprenlimab. An investigational drug is a drug that is being studied for approval by the country specific regulatory body. This drug is not available for sale in the United States or in any other country. Sibeprenlimab is being studied as a possible treatment of Sjögren’s Disease.
